Welcome to episode 4 of our podQast. This week we continue our discussion about Wudhu' in Islam. Wudhu' is a fundamental ritual cleansing process that Muslims perform before prayer. It involves washing specific body parts, reflecting on one's sins, and making supplications to Allah. However, wudhu' is not just a physical act, but it also purifies the heart and soul. In this podcast, we will discuss the various levels of purification involved in wudhu', including physical body, physical sins, purifying the heart, and the purification of the Prophets and Messengers. We will also explore the inner dimension and the importance of reflection and supplication during wudhu', and how practicing wudhu' can help Muslims draw closer to Allah. Join us as we delve deeper into the significance of wudhu' in Islam and how it can help purify our hearts and souls. We also answer one question that was asked by few of our listeners on book suggestions for tweens.
